BELLEVILLE, MO (KTVI)– The Belleville Chief of Police has banned his officers from eating at the local Denny’s restaurant while on duty after an incident at the establishment New Year’s Day.  A manager at the Denny’s Tuesday told a group of officers they could not eat at the restaurant if they were armed.

The restaurant chain said a customer spotted one of the officers carrying a gun and alerted the manager.  The manager told the detective she would have to leave or secure the gun in her car.

OC'd at various Denny's often...never had a problem *shrugs*

LEOs have been known to try and kick OCers out of restaurants, or intimidate managers into forcing open firearms carriers to leave.  I can't help but be amused at the irony here.  It is somehow poetic.

From the article:

“It’s absolutely a slap in the face I totally agree it’s completely disrespectful. How can anyone think to tell a police officer law abiding citizen you can’t be in here with your gun its absurd to me.”

Fixed it for them.
